In Pictures: The Definitive Career Timeline Of ‘Breaking Bad’s’ Aaron Paul

I don’t exactly know why this is true, but the Internet has a deep fascination with Aaron Paul’s pre-Breaking Bad filmography. People rightfully went berserker when Jay Leno revealed that Paul had been on the Price is Right back in the day, and last week, Leno also unearthed Aaron Paul’s (terrible) stint on the original Beverly Hills 90210. Whenever people spot Aaron Paul in a before-he-was-famous role, we get emails. We appreciate those emails. It’s how we found out he was in Birds of Prey. Yesterday, in fact, an awesome reader, FallOutBoy (The Radioactive Man Sidekick, not the Band) sent us screen shots of Aaron Paul in his episode of Bones. Why FallOutBoy was watching first season episodes of Bones, well, that’s a question we probably shouldn’t ask.

However, it got me thinking: Let’s just knock this all out at once. Let’s dig up photos from Aaron Paul’s entire career timeline, from 1999 — when he moved to Los Angeles — until 2014, when he’s set to appear in Need for Speed, a movie about a street racer who was framed by a wealthy business associate (I’m far more excited for his 2013 role in A Long Way Down, the adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel).

So, without further ado, here’s photographic evidence of most of Aaron Paul’s movie and television roles (at least the ones with available images on the Internet). He has gone through some bad hair phases, folks, but I gotta say, nerdy Aaron Paul is my favorite early Aaron Paul.

No i had to track down a lot of TV episodes and youtube clips and watch them until i saw Aaron and find the best place to stop the video and take a screen shot. This guy went on my page and just took my work. But i guess that’s just how the internet works. Making money off of other peoples hard work.

Yikes, no source or mention of you either. That is not cool. Neither is him saying:

Basically saying “We did this” and taking credit when you totally ripped someones work is a rough definition for plagiarism. Not that its published work I dont think but it is unprofessional to take credit for someone else’s hard work when your job is to write you should know that. Even if it is slightly tweaked like reversing the order so nobody knows or adding and removing a few images and works so you can play it off as “digging it up” when you really meant “ripping it off”

I had an hour to kill before I had to get ready for work and nothing was on. I ended up on TNT and boom, there was Aaron Paul in an episode of Bones. Like you said, Bones isn’t the best show but it’s watchable television.

Hey. I just had to sign up to thank you for stealing most of my work for this article. You seem like a very professional and hard working dude. I spent hours going through videos and such to find those photos, but hey, why should that bother some big star blogger like you? You’re probably making money off my work as well unlike me. So that’s awesome. And if you want to make a similar article on Bryan Cranston, i’ll save you the trouble of spending five minutes Googeling him to find my work again and just give you this: [www.listal.com]

Well amidst all of these problems with the sources for this article (plagiarism is bad, and I feel like it shouldn’t be tolerated at all) I’d like to point out Aaron Paul was in X-Files in 2001. I made a little list of all the people in both Breaking Bad and X-Files and pointed to each episodes for which shows they were in. I only took screenshots of Dean Norris, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul though: [mephistoscafeowner.tumblr.com].

I’ve been a fan since Whatever It Takes. He stole the show. Then I watched him in Wasted, Veronica Mars, Bones, Big Love, and some other things. I said for years that he would win an Oscar or an Emmy someday. He’s incredible.
